Parliament doesn't resume until the end of July so still early days for the new government in its honeymoon period. Mending bridges with allies and pacific nations and so far dealing with the energy crisis thanks to a decade or so of inaction and climate change denialism. Got a lot of challenges especially over the next 12-18 months to deal with and correct.

We're at the moment still witnessing the fallout and true scale of the utter mess the incompetent Morrison LNP government left the country in :thumbsdown.

Then  he promises a pay rise for everyone, only to back track as he hasn’t got a clue about simple economics..

I look forward to how he plans to deal with the now law stage 3 tax cuts that the LNP gave us all. His bum chums greens buddys are not happy and want it gone.

Why link to cooker Andrew "waaaaah" Bogut? All he does most days is yell at the clouds and sook on social media for attention  :sleep.

Anyway, happy to see those who are corrupt weeded out. Today's report was into old allegations. It's why the federal branch of the ALP took over the Victorian branch in 2020. The whole political system and all parties (not just the majors) should be audited before ICAC across the country. Hello previous federal government. Hello certain crossbench senator who agreed to a law change based on her birthdate so she financially gained. Look at NSW still. That's why the country needs a federal ICAC and stricter and clearer uniform laws (as opposed to just "rules" open to interpretation).

Here’s the statement in full:

Senator Hanson considers that ‘acknowledgement of country’ perpetuates racial division in Australia. Like many non-Indigenous Australians, Senator Hanson considers this country belongs to her as much as it does belong to any other Australian, Indigenous or otherwise.

From this point forward, Senator Hanson will refuse to acknowledge country in the Senate. Senator Hanson does not accept that acknowledgement of country is any sort of Indigenous Australian tradition, given that at most it has only been in use for the past 25 years (and in parliament only 12 years).

Senator Hanson will also oppose a motion in the Senate today for the Aboriginal flag to be displayed in the Senate. Senator Hanson considers that only one flag, the Australian national flag, truly represents all Australians.

For my part I do not know why I have to hear this acknowledgement many times a day, at my kids school, in online meetings with external companies, on airplanes etc etc

It feels like a constant apology doing the groundhog day loop

Maybe we could just do a yearly day of acknowledgement and cut all the bombardment multiple times a day
